The Group Study Strategy

For obvious reasons I decided to create study strategies, but at the risk of people becoming better than me I decided to publish my idea of a group study program instead of my own – kidding, the self-study still needs troubleshooting so I might try to upload the self-study sometime next week.

So think of it as a game and here are the rules:

◆ Version 1:

Ensure the study space is clean and study-friendly. No booze, or rave music, obviously.

Assign places for everyone involved in the study group that is significantly distanced from everyone where interaction is limited to talking in half-loud voices.

Agree on a sanction should the rules be violated.

Don’t disturb each other unless the inquiry is academic.

If able to complete one hour study session without unnecessary interruptions and significant progress, reward with 30-40 minute break with each other.

◆ Version 2:

Set a schedule that will accommodate the number of people and a desired amount of leisure time. Obviously, if you want to legit study then you don’t arrange a five-hour long happy time proportioned to one-hour study time.

Take turns as to who goes first to take a happy time as everyone eslse studies until their turn.
